Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and activity of BPX-701 in participants with relapsed AML, previously treated MDS, or metastatic uveal melanoma expressing high levels of PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME). Participants' T cells are modified to recognize and target the PRAME tumor marker on cancer cells.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this study is to characterize the safety, feasibility, and clinical activity of BPX-701, a genetically modified autologous T cell product incorporating an HLA-A2-restricted PRAME-directed TCR and a rimiducid-inducible safety switch, when administered to subjects with relapsed AML, previously treated MDS, or metastatic uveal melanoma.

The study will be comprised of multiple parts:

Part 1 (Phase 1): Cell dose escalation to identify the maximum dose of BPX-701 T cells (escalating doses from 1.25 x 10E6 cells/kg up to 5.0 x 10E6 cells/kg to be explored) Parts 2 and 3 (Phase 2): Dose expansion to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics (including BPX-701 T cell persistence and response to rimiducid as applicable), and clinical activity at the recommended dose identified in Part 1 During Parts 1, 2, or 3, rimiducid may be administered following BPX-701 T cell infusion in response to uncontrollable, treatment-emergent toxicity

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1 Does Escalation

Participants with relapsed AML or previously treated MDS will receive an intravenous infusion of BPX-701. Dose escalation of BPX-701 will continue until the recommended cell dose level is reached.

Rimiducid may be administered in response to treatment-related toxicity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BPX-701

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

autologous T cells genetically modified to express the αβ TCR reacting with PRAME peptide/HLA-A2.01 (PRAME TCR) and an inducible safety switch

Rimiducid

Intervention Type DRUG

dimerizer infusion to activate the safety switch and induce apoptosis of the BPX-701 T cells in the event of toxicity

Arm 2 Dose Escalation

Participants with metastatic uveal melanoma will receive an intravenous infusion of BPX-701. Dose escalation of BPX-701 will continue until the recommended cell dose level is reached.

Rimiducid may be administered in response to treatment-related toxicity.
